it, and i can guarantee you in november you are going to hear the dc r -- todd: that is quite possibly the greatst jacket withive ever seen. [laughter] carley: you look great. >> oh, thank you so much. carley: good to be with you on this saturday morning. "fox & friends" starts right now. pete: president biden will begin the final day of his emergency trip to europe today, a major address from poland. rachel: russia appears to be shifting its military strategy in its war on ukraine. the red army now focusing its efforts on the eastern donbas >> reporter: good morning.

a month into this the russian military machine is scaling back. the kremlin shows the first phase of this wars over and russia will focus on east ukraine, where they have been fighting since 2014. the us says russia is no longer pursuing key of aggressively and russian armories digging into defensive position. vladimir putin says russia has fallen victim to cancel culture. >> translator: they cancel the children's writer, the author of a book that sold hundreds of millions of copies, because of so-called gender liberty. >> reporter: the ukrainians claimed they hit a russian ship in burdansk. we know that ship is the serito

which is capable of hauling armored vehicles and tanks. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy told ukrainians not to ease up now. >> translator: don't stop even 4-minute because each minute is about our fate, our future. if russia had known what expected them here they would be afraid of coming here. >> reporter: in response to that, zelenskyy said ukraine will maintain its territorial integrity. back to you in new york. will: interesting. among the new developing since putin signaling there is a phase 2 of this operation. phase one did not go the way he wanted. is there really only a focus in danbas?

we will follow that. further west, president biden is meeting with troops, diplomats and others and will visit refugees but is giving a major speech today, not sure why, because the last couple days have been full of fumbles and corrections as he tried to walk back messages from off-the-cuff marks about deterrence, responding in kind to chemical attacks, the troops may be making their way to ukraine, called the declaration of independence corny, he will attempt to correct that, here's part of what president biden said to paratroopers of the 82nd airborne yesterday. >> they are going to see young people standing in front of a

tank saying i am not leaving. rachel: not exactly tear down this wall, hardly able to understand. will: he told those paratroopers when you get there. there' s been a promise from this administration there would not be american troops on the ground in ukraine, the president saying to american troops when you get there. that forced the white house to put out this statement, the president has been clear we are not sending troops to ukraine and there is no change in that position. when the president of the united states goes off-the-cuff and makes these blunders, it is one thing when it is during the campaign season and try to be elected president but another

when your words literally carry the weight of world war iii. it is quite another thing when you -- your words and your messaging to other world dictators across the globe, it is embarrassing, yes, it is dangerous and it is unacceptable. we cannot have a president of the united states who cannot control his thoughts. rachel: the worst one was at the very beginning when this war possibly could have been stopped before russia came in and he was asked what would be the us response if russia were to come in and his response was it depends on if it is a minor incursion. that sent a message to russia and they tried to clean that up and russia made what was not a minor incursion but a major incursion.

rachel: will: for months he said we are going to use sanctions to deter and in poland he says sanctions were never intended to deter at all. you made a key point on the campaign trail, giving a speech about green energy, who cares if he goes off-the-cuff but when he is saying things like i was going to go to ukraine but my advisors wouldn't let me go or standing in front of guys who give this lives for this country and says this declaration thing is kind of corny or the idea that if vladimir putin uses chemical attacks he said we are going to respond in kind. that alongside what he said about you will soon be in ukraine guess where that is showing up? russian television, russian propaganda is beaming president biden's statement to the russian people to say i told you the americans are coming for us, they will be in ukraine

soon, this is going to escalate. this is sheer and gross incompetence on the world stage. they tried to send kamala first. so we don't have to send joe. they didn't it begins. there has been no clarity. maybe we will get something today but i have very little faith. that is why people are disheartened 31 days into this war. will: his you know, arm's-length estimation two ways you win a war, the technological advantage, the advantage of having willpower on your side and the russian people are apparently not on the side of this war for vladimir putin. one of the reasons why they have been preached a message that ukraine is part of russia.

why are we having a war with, as you described, our brothers? why are we fighting the ukrainians? the key is vladimir putin saying you are not coming or fighting nato, fighting america. if he can use president biden's words to build the will of the russian people, you build the ability of vladimir putin to win this war. rachel: with the hearts of the mind of his people which he was losing and make it back based on this mistake. representative from florida, brian mashed, who has given his limbs for this country had this to say about our president. >> what does the world see when they look at us, the finest fighting force being led by a lamb and not being led by a lion and if he's unwilling to say we were trying to deter russia from entering ukraine, if we were not trying to deter them than what in the world where we doing?

just thinking about sanctions for the fun of it? we knew it wasn't going to be effective because it was the equivalent of sanctioning a farmer without sanctioning their crops but they were unwilling to look at the reality of the situation. will: rachel: we are in day 32 of this war, starting to hear more talk about the need to end this war. the polish mayor said the refugee crisis, we can't even handle it, we need to end this war, they are seeing so much human suffering, zelenskyy making gestures that we want to get into some negotiation and as we reported earlier russia is changing its strategy to consolidate its wins on the eastern front and maybe that is a win. zelenskyy keeps kyiv and the rest of the country and russia

gains sunland and he can declare victory. i don't believe this war had to happen. so many forces came to play including the incompetence of this administration and signaling to ukraine about entering into nato and not even arming them as they did that that led to russia believing they could get away with it. pete: estimates of ukrainians or 16,000 dead russians, russians claim it is 1500 but if it is upwards of 7000, you are talking 10% of their force, 7 dead russian generals, reports of a colonel who was run over by his own troops, the piece that may eventually come is the product of a lot of courage and a lot of firepower against russians -- rachel: do we know how many

ukrainian soldiers have died? will: i don't want to miss report it. it's not the russians. will: inside information later. coming up, a minnesota man who had been living in ukraine has been freed after being detained in russia. his dad will join us next hour. you don't want to miss that interview. rachel: fox news alert, washington state police officer killed in the line of duty, the shootout happening outside of seattle starbucks. officer dan rocha was shot in the head. police arrested the suspect after a 2 mile car chase that ended in a multi car accident. authorities identify the 14-year-old boy who fell to his death from an orlando amusement park ride. tyree sampson's father says his son was freaking out before

falling to his death. >>'s fingers moved. going out. that is when you start freaking out. he was explaining to his friends if i don't make it down, tell mom and dad i love them. rachel: the football player and honor roll student fell as the ride was plunging down from 400 feet. his father demanding answers on why his son, who is 6 foot 5 and 300 pounds, was allowed on the ride in the first place. newly released emails reveal the biden administration operated with missing data when crafting the school reopening guidance, emails show the government did not have learning data on school reopening as. the emails revealing doctor

anthony fauci forwarded article saying school should be open and kids didn't necessarily need to socially distanced. i wonder why that happened. those are your headlines. that makes me so mad. will: they were following the science the entire time. this is what we are getting more and more, this is what the data said. let's not let it go. let's force a day of reckoning. a day of reckoning or sweetness. because we made ncaa history. rachel: i've got sports headlines here. the st. peter's peacocks advancing to the tournament in what fans call a cinderella story. >> reporter: it was a big underdog win over the two seed kentucky, the st. peter's peacocks keeping alive

with another shocking win over purdue. watch this. >> to the thai! this miracle run continues for st. peter's. the peacocks make history. rachel: the victory making the 16th seed after, the peacocks showing what the moment means to them. this video of students when they realized they were going to the league, here's the head coach. >> we will try to take down a stretch. something happened. we kept balance. i knew the ball would bounce that way and it did. rachel: they will be the matchup with the tar heels

tomorrow night. little bit of exciting news. pete: it is a meme which means it is 100% true, yesterday was national peacock day. the beam is correct and the first 15 seed to make the elite we ate. where is it? st. peter's is in jersey city new jersey across the river here. school of 3,000 kids. it is a tiny, never heard of it school before. when we say it is historic, when you pick your bracket you don't pick the 15 seed in the first round, this is the first time ever a team ever made it to the final seed. rachel: was this a fluke like the other team didn't play well or is this a great team?

pete: they beat of 3 seed and they play north carolina who's in 8 seed, they could win that game. it is a huge program so ever see the movie hoosiers? it is like that, not quite but a modern version of total david and goliath. >> you have to give the team credit but that's the point of this tournament, anything can happen. you can have a cinderella story, 15 can beta 2 or 7 or 3. can they beat twee 8, can they go to the final four? that's what is great. rachel: i love seeing that video of all those kids jumping up and down, like college is back, kids are jumping up and down. will: if north carolina wins and duke wins you have duke north carolina.

>> i would rather see st. peter's. >> "fox and friends" is rooting for st. peter's. pete: not in the bracket but the whole thing. you have teams that get points. will: the outset of the tournament, week by week -- you pick them to go this far -- will: we pick 16 teams. the vision picked. i get no credit. still ahead all lies are on ukraine. who's holding the government accountable for what happened in afghanistan. correlation cassette done with an american government worker who had to make her own way to the us after being stranded.

>> president biden said no american citizen was trapped, she's my wife. he didn't know that she was stranded there. >> it is a responsible saying americans are stranded. they are not. >> in january president biden said he makes no apologies for how he pulled out of afghanistan. >> i wonder how the families of those 13 soldiers feel that we lost a week before the last american soldier and i want to know how those families feel that lost their sons and daughters in the 20 years of war in afghanistan for nothing because we are back to ground 0. it is worse than it was before. >> people are selling their children, selling their organs. half of the city turned to barriers. these are all professional people, progress was turned to

the fall of kabul was so fast. she tried to get to the airport, got whipped by the caliban, didn't want to show her passport, went into hiding and said a member of the caliban found her phone number and this is when they were going door-to-door and taking americans or people who helped the us government and shooting them or harming them in some way. she was terrified. she felt time was running out. thankfully senator tom cotton and congresswoman carol miller found her story and they were responsible for bringing her back, a beautiful family, emotional experience to sit down with her and to hear those details with her. she has been in america now for many months and it still weighs heavily on the family. rachel: no one is talking about

the families there. >> reporter: it is not in the news cycle anymore but that doesn't mean it is not going on and there are people in afghanistan selling their organs and selling their children because they don't have enough to eat, we can't let this be a forgotten crisis and i'm afraid that it is becoming one. and it didn't have to be this way. will: tom cotton working with private groups. pete: thank you for sharing it with us. reports of another major revelation from hunter biden's trove of emails this time millions of dollars in biolab research. will i get in trouble for saying those things? it is right there, biolab

rachel: more on these shocking revelations. >> reporter: russia has been pushing outlandish claims that us backed biological and chemical weapons labs in ukraine describing migratory birds being used to spread disease but propaganda works when a nugget of truth is found in these fallacies and according to the new york post that is the case for russia's accusation that hunter biden was involved in raising funds for ukrainian biolab, emails uncovered in the laptop saying they come from his investment firm invested $500,000 in research company meta-biota, and email permits vice president where he spoke the attached memo provides an overview of engagement in ukraine and how it can leverage

our networks and concepts to ukraine's cultural and economic independence from russia and integration into western society. the new york post writes the us government did award $23.9 million, some for ukrainian research project according to government spending records. russian state media has accused them of being us backed, chemical and biological weapons facilities, the us has denied this. according to the part of defense the us does not own or operate labs in ukraine but after the fall of the soviet union, provided assistance to former soviet union countries to reduce biological threat and transition these research facilities like in any country throughout the world. this is interesting given the hunter biden connection, accusation the russians made, hunter biden described his relationship with the lab as a science project.

my 12-year-old has one of those, a science project, last week. pete: did he play millions for it? that was really good report. you get in a fight with your spouse and you fight until you don't know what you are fighting about. this biolab is she was so far removed from anything helping you are helping us to understand what is happening. what seems clear is there were biolab's in ukraine the purpose of which is to take down the threat from the soviet union days and extend research that could present the threat if they were taken over today by the russians and hunter biden was involved. these are subjects you are not supposed to talk about, you will get band on social media but hunter biden was clearly

involved through the united states government to these. pete: if you haven't watched who is hunter biden, a four part series narrated in hunter biden's voice because you read is audiobook and you see what is on the laptop, what his business was was doing dirty business with corrupt quasi-entities or other entities in ukraine, china and russia because his dad was a prominent senator, chairman of the foreign senate relations committee and vice president of the united states. that was his only currency and they found people willing to be shady enough to partner with so he could benefit from it and the big guy could get a portion of it. republicans get control of the house in 2022 this should be one of the first things -- will: this is a massive story. rachel: it was more than he was

a prominent senator. she was point guy for the obama administration in ukraine. china, russia, ukraine, all of these bumping up into dealings that hunter biden had and for possibility, i think probability that the president of the united states is compromised. if he is receiving 10%, if he is the big guy, 10% of all these dirty deals he is compromised with all these countries that are at the forefront of our news and potential of nuclear disaster and a war, this is a serious story and i love the idea that when the republicans win they will investigate this and we will get to the bottom of it. to me that is bs. we out to get to the bottom of it now. our media should be at the bottom of it. this is the center of the story. pete: here is the center of the

story. the rest of the story, of course they are not going to look into it. when you watch who is hunter biden you walk away. everyone knew what was going on at the time but not -- this should stop, it's not a good look and it continues. the actions of larry put -- in the hunt of this -- this is what it will be turned into. none of this excuses or takes the side of russia in an illegal and inhumane war. the question is are we capable of looking at ourselves and the corruption in our own government at the same time acknowledging all of this. rachel: they are investigating trump and donald trump junior as we speak, that's what they are going after, this, not the center of a global conflict. rachel: border patrol warning of a record surge at the southern border. former acting dhs secretary

crime. and social services, for american citizens. i want to move to another topic. >> it is important for folks to remember we are on track this fiscal year with 5 or 6 months into it to eclipse, the highest on record ever. there is no strategy at the border, they tore down a number of successful initiatives during the trump administration. the only thing that's keeping their head above water is title 42 which is going away as well. once that occurs, the crisis in the past 12 or 15 months becomes catastrophic because they are unable to remove individuals and you see a larger number of individuals showing up to cross the border.

rachel: we are hearing about russian agents in mexico in other troubling situations is what does it mean for us. mexico is neutral on ukraine, mexico says they are downplaying. let me get your thoughts on this. from mexico's president, he says we don't have information. to spy on anybody. more to beijing, to washington, it doesn't answer the question, russian agents working in mexico and does mexico work on it? >> if you want to do it illegally, you can do it on the southern border and that is why border patrol picks up 120 different nationalities have

sky high gas prices take a hefty toll on americans as the price of gasoline in the united states today is $4.24. what does that up to? over a year it adds up to $2000 in extra cost to the american household on gasoline alone and doesn't factor in the downstream effects on your food, everything you buy that is impacted by gasoline. what about natural gas? 40% of the natural gas supply to the european union comes from russia if those sanctions cut off the supply what does that mean for natural gas prices and other impacts on the economy. let's talk to jackie deangelis. is a global market, natural gas, oil and gas. 40% of the eu's natural gas supplies cut off. rachel: it means there's not

enough supply to take care of the short father you but he did would see so what is president biden saying? telling the eu to have more terminals to receive natural gas, we will tell other countries to divert the shipments to fix the problem. they are also saying you produce more natural gas. let me tell you, there are 13 permits approved for natural gas export facilities. the companies are not building the more investing in them, roughly $8 billion to build those and they see the administration is in friendly so they stopped. we should be doing that. we should be doing it here and we should be sending it to you. pete: are we living up to our full supply potential? what is the administration doing to encourage or discourage oil and gas production?

rachel: they are killing the oil and gas industry by saying we don't believe in fossil fuels for the future, we are not going to invest and then say the oil companies are price gouging, that is unequivocally not true. pete: chick-fil-a is using used cooking oil into fuel in partnership -- whatever they use, you can see to fry potatoes or chicken, didn't they take the used cooking oil and that can help with fuel supply? rachel: it sounds crazy but essentially recycle fat oil and use it as a cleaner biofuel and that is important to the larger conversation, think what is happening to the united states we have the cleanest fossil fuels, we are the ones who should be doing it and

investing in technologies like this and doing interesting things. pete: didn't know you could do this but let's put on screen the natural gas prices state-by-state because you see the impact on various states across the nation, in california, above $5 a gallon you can see right there. you want to know more about this? energy independence. tell us about that. rachel: what we wanted to do is answer questions. how did we get here? how do we go in crisis when we look at the situation with russia and ukraine, we are talking gas prices, up 77% since biden's inauguration, $2000 more in fuel costs, one thousand dollars in food costs

[inaudible conversations] >> reporter: there was a stop at

the president's schedule this morning, he ended up going in an unscheduled stop, previously unannounced from the white house, to the meeting between the secretary of state, anthony blinken, secretary of defense, lloyd austin, and their ukrainian counterparts. that meeting has been going on for over an hour now. we don't have confirmation of whether it has wrapped or not, the pool got pushed out of that it meeting. the president later on will meet with polish president duda, he's also going to be meeting with ukrainian refugees. national security adviser jake sullivan confirmed reports the white house has assembled a team known as the tiger team to form contingency plans in case russia strikes nato territory or uses chem chemical or biological weapons that could potentially drift into nato territory if russia used them in ukraine. listen. >> we are doing contingency planning for the possibility that russia chooses to strike

nato territory. in that context or in any other context. and the president has been about as clear as one can be about his absolute determination to respond decisively alongside the other members of our alliance if russia attacks nato. >> reporter: there's concern that vladimir putin's frustrated by lack of progress in ukraine, could resort to the most extreme measures. a senior u.s. defense official said russia is now focused on the donbas region and mariupol after trying and failing to take kyiv with that strategy focused on seizing criminal of certain regions and then cutting off ukrainian forces from helping elsewhere. president biden yesterday was speaking to american troops stationed in poland. >> you'll see women, young people stand in the middle of a tank just saying i'm not leaving. i'm holding my ground. they're incredible. they take a lot of inspiration from us. this is not hyperbole.

you're the fine ifest fighting -- finest fighting force in the history of the world. >> reporter: the white house had to clean up confusion around that statement, the president indicating those troops might be heading into ukraine. the white house telling fox we are not sending u.s. troops to ukraine, and there is no change in that position. now, we do have of a couple of details, the pool got a glimpse of that meeting, the president was speaking to the ukrainian defense minister about how they've all gotten used to sleeping in poor conditions, the prime minister had an exchange about -- the president had an exchange about how he used to sleep on amtrak trains. back to you guy. i'll will -- will: mike tobin is in lviv on the ground. mike, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning. with ground forces bogged down, russia says they're transitioning to phase two of this operation with focusing on the eastern portion of ukraine. we can show you only video from

the luhansk region. two areas that make the donbas region, those are the regions where russian-backed separatists have been fighting ukrainians since 2014. these are the regions myrrh putin claimed he wanted to de-nazify when he launched the invasion of ukraine. ukrainians say they destroyed a russian ship to the south of the country, satellite images show a 300-foot russian ship sunk up to the rails docked next to a burning fuel storage tank. president volodymyr zelenskyy urged his soldiers to keep up the fight. >> translator: i am grateful to our defenders who showed the occupiers that the seas will not be calm for them even when there is no storm because there will be fire. >> reporter: apparently, in response to the russian focus on the eastern part of the country, zelenskyy said the territorial

integrity of ukraine will remain intact. guys, back to you. will: hey, mike, we've heard a lot about the damage the approach of the russian military towards mariupol, it's being absolutely destroyed. we heard something similar a few weeks ago when it came to kharkiv. what about the two cities in the far east, donetsk and luhansk, are they receiving incredible punishment from the russian military, or is there -- i hate to use the word softer, but a lighter touch going on there in that region? >> reporter: no, there doesn't seem to be a lighter touch anywhere. there's quite a bit of aerial bombardment and indiscriminate long-range fire. when they face the ukrainians on the ground, they're at least matched or dominated by the ukrainians, so they opt for that long-range fire sometimes using artillery, a lot of times using airstrikes and rocket fire, and that takes out a lot of civilian infrastructure in the process. will: thank you, mike. i wondered if some of the

renales might be potentially part of -- regions might be potentially -- pete: that was actually my question last hour, potentially, has it lightened up in the west as they focus on the east. rachel: and is that a good strategy, to hold on to that -- you know, to regroup and then keep the -- where some of the resources are. pete: that's where russia's been fighting for eight9 years, in that donbas region. for them to now say they're going to focus just there, it shows how little progress they've made -- will: exactly. last week we introduced you to john quinn, a minnesota dad desperate for help, contacting his son tyler jacob who was detained by russian forces while trying to flee ukraine. rachel: today we have great news, tyler is finally free. pete: joining us again with an update on his son, john quinn. john, thanks for being here, and i've got to believe right mow you're breathing a big sigh of relief, ask we're happy for you on that. if you would, update our

audience on tyler. how did he get out? if what has he been through? >> tyler was actually freed from custody on tuesday. he had three days to leave the country, and we had to get him transportation from where he was at. it was a 30-hour train ride to get him to moscow. he had to fly out of moscow and get him transportation in moscow and out of the country with $100. that was quite a challenge, i'm telling you, because credit cards don't work over there, and that's all the cash that he had. there's been some angels that have appeared out of nowhere that have helped with this, and it just, it's been a very humbling experience for our whole family. and to tell tyler about what's happened on this side, he just was tearful and grateful and so happy to be in safe ground right now. rachel: how is tyler doing? >> he's tired, but he's very

good. i was just talking to him just a little bit before the interview, and his wife and stepdaughter were at a shopping mall this morning, they were -- lots of hugging and touching, he said. so i can only imagine the joy. we plan on going to visit tyler in a few weeks here where he's at, and the first hug is going to be everything, so -- will: john, i don't know if you had a chance to speak extensively with tyler, what has he been able to share about the nature of his arrest and his time in detention with russian officials? >> he said they were incredible to him. he said not to believe what, everything that you hear about the russians, that there are good people there. you know, that's the same all over the world, i believe. you know, the experience that we had too along the way is that there are people that just came out of the woodwork that stepped

up and helped and didn't have to, and it's just -- they were so good to him. they spent money out of their own pockets and helped him out and bought him a coke a couple of times, and it's just the little things that meant a lot to him when he was there. pete: great reminder, there's a big difference between russian leadership and the russian people. but there aren't many americans riding a train through russia to moscow for 30 hours. i can't imagine there are many americans at the moscow airport. did he share anything about what it's like to be -- what he observed traveling through russia, being in moscow? >> he didn't really say too much, but we were very aware that we needed to keep a low profile, and he knew i that too through this whole ordeal and that -- keeping his head down, trying not to stick out and just get through this. we did have some hurdles at the

airport getting through their security, but we got through it, and he's on safe territory right now, and i'm just so happy about that. rachel: well, john quinn, it's an amazing story. we're to happy for you and your family, and we can't wait to hear an update on the eventual reunion. john? >> awesome, thank you. rachel: you got it. pete: that's great. war starts, the only way you can go is toward turkey. everyone else on the bus is allowed to go through, and you're pulled off on a sham visa? i mean, the fact that it ended the way it is, thanked god. rachel: and i do, i like that you brought back to light what he said, i mean, there is a difference between putin and the russian people, and i think, sadly, in this whole conflict a lot of russians have experienced unnecessary discrimination, many of them are not aligned with their president. pete: for sure. just like a lot of parents are not aligned with what's going o- [laughter]

rachel: nice transition, petement. pete: we just talked to john quinn, this story comes out of st. paul. yet another mother stepping up to a school board. this happened just last week, talking about what has happened to her 6-year-old boy as it pertains to math, teaching sex in school and pushing social justice themes in classrooms. we're till working to identify -- still working to identify exactly who this woman is, but the video itself caught the eye of many. watch what she said when she talked about how her kid's been affected. >> so i wanted to first start talking about the masks. why are our children still in masks when they have been lifted everywhere else? if anything, it should be optional. you are taking people's rights away. number two, they are implementing transgender discussions in school. i have a 6-year-old boy, a

6-year-old son, who came home to me and discussed this with me. and i went up to the school and i talked to the teacher wells the -- as well as the principal. many one notified me that they were implementing this in school and especially at that age. you need to let the parents know so we can either okay it or tell you, no, i don't want my 6-year-old learning about that because his or her mind isn't even there. to come prehen that. and the third -- comprehend that. and the third thing is so i found out that the schools are taking funding to implement things like this in school as well as another thing he said was the black lives matter movement and subject. personally, i don't teach my children that. i teach my children every life, no matter your skin color,

matters. rachel: wow. will: wow, is right. rachel: common sense. by the way, this is the war on childhood. this is the war on childhood innocence. there is absolutely zero reason, first of all, why this topic should be discussed in school at all, much less with kindergartners, 6-year-olds. if you want to talk to a child about sex and transgenderrism to a kindergartener, i'm sorry, you're a pervert. i don't want -- i don't even want to talk to my teens about sex, and i have to. i don't want to talk about sex to your kids or your kids, that's your job. we need to put an end to this because this is actually -- and she brought up a really important point -- the federal government is giving money to the schools to incentivize them so if they take that money, they agree to have these conversations. this is a plan, this is by design, and this is really, i

think, usurping the role of parents. will: this is insanity. rachel: totally! will: and it is proliferating. don't let someone tell you this isn't happening. you don't need us to verify or confirm it is, because if you have children, you're experiencing this. in no world, rachel, just to echo your point, in no world does a 6-year-old need to be talked to about sexuality, about you as a teacher coming out. it's not about tolerance. your sexual preferences are of no educational value to a 6-year-old. and for you to paint it -- you, the proverbial you -- as the issue of a modern civil rights issue shows, quite honestly, your perversion. it simply is unacceptable, and people of common sense -- black, white, republican, democrat -- understand this. and if you keep pushing this growing, proliferating progressive movement, you're going to get hammered. you're going to get hammered at the ballot box. i truly believe that. pete: you rip away the innocence of kids.

all you do is confuse them. rachel: that's point. pete: that's the point, is to confuse them. and she only glanced at the racial component of it but, again, she eludes to the martin luther king jr. version of the world which is the way we should be looking at it, and still today, almost april, her 6-year-old is still wearing a mask inside st. paul public schools. by the way, we're doing an update on miseducation of america series coming up in june when some other things are happening. you can't keep up with the speed, the rapidness. even though we're talking about it, it is getting worse, and it's on hyperdrive. rachel: it totally is. and by the way, there is a tie-in to this confirmation if hearing that we're dealing with, with justice ketanji jackson. minimizing, again, this is part of the movement, minimizing and justifying why she's reducing sentences for kiddie porn. i think, frankly, that it's disqualifying, i think it's disturbing and yet another attack on children's innocence.

and i, i've had a lot of people write to me this week who have ebb appearanced child sexual abuse -- experienced child sexual abuse, and they're very concerned about this justice for this reason. it is a lifetime sentence, and those pictures revictimize kids every single time they're share. and so that is a serious issue. but this is all about the innocence of children and protecting childhood and, parents, if you don't step up, just as pete said, this thing is on overdrive. it is not slowing down. pete: yet to the modern democrat party, she's a shoo-in to be the next supreme court justice. rachel: scary. pete: we reach out to the st. paul public schools, we did not hear back, and we are working on identifying that wonderful mom. if you know who she is, let us know. we hope to have her on the program. will: we turn now to this news, foo fighters' drummer taylor hawkins has died. he quickly became a fan favorite and close friend of frontman

dave grohl. the band was on tour in colombia when his death was confirmed last night. band mates saying in part, his musical spirit and infectious laughter will hiv on with us, with all of us forever. no details about the cause of death have been confirmed, he was 50 years old. another fox news alert, nevada police make an arrest in the case of a missing nevada teenager. troy driver was arrested from a home on kidnapping charges. police also encountered a pickup truck, quote, possibly involved. 18-year-old naomi irion was last seen nearly two weeks ago waiting on her car from a shuttle bus in a walmart parking lot. authorities are still actively searching for her. the saint peter's peacocks pulled off an upset against purdue. watch. [cheers and applause] >> for the tie --

[cheers and applause] this miracle roll continues for saint peter's! the peacocks make history! will: saint peter's clinching that win to become the first ever 15ed seed to make it to the elite eight. the 67-64 victory sets up a matchup with the north carolina tar heels tomorrow night as the peacock faithful are loving every second. meanwhile, the kansas jayhawks held off providence to remain the only top-seeded team till in the big dance, so you probably got at least one out of four in your bracket. an elite matchup with the 10 seed miami hurricanes tomorrow afternoon. you've got one 1 seed left. is that right? just one 1 seed? i don't know if that was the complete elite eight. pete: kansas is a 1, right? if. will: arizona's gone --

pete: gonzaga and baylor's gone. only one more 1. look at that. your bracket's busted, isn't it? of. [laughter] i'm going to -- rachel: sorry. okay. pete: a piece offed good news, that saint peter's game is on sunday night, so we can stay up and watch -- will: if they don't call us before that. pete: and number two, chick fill chick-fil-a -- chick-fil-a just arrived. all right. we are continuing to monitor joe biden's final day in europe as we await what the white house is calling a, quote, major address later today from poland. nigel farage will join us next on how the white house is already cleaning up biden's gaffes.

will: back with a fox news alert, we're now awaiting president biden's arrival to meet with the polish president. pete: this after the white house walks back this biden gaffe, among many, on sending u.s. troops to ukraine. watch. >> you're going to see when you're there, some of you have been there, you're going to see, you're going to see women, young people stand in the middle -- in front of a damn tank saying i'm not leaving.

i'm holding my ground. rachel: here to react is former brexit party leader nigel farage. nigel, welcome to "fox & friends." we've been talking about how uninspiring that speech was to the troops but also how dangerous it is for him to make a gaffe like this in the middle of this tinner box situation. tinderbox situation. >> yes. he tells the 82nd airborne they're heading into ukraine, 48 hours after when he was asked what if putin uses chemical weapons, and he said we'll respond in kind. really? are we going to use chemical weapons? i don't think so. at least i hope we're not. and i'm not sure whenever he speaks whether i want to laugh or cry -- [laughter] because with america has been the -- because america has been the head of nato for over 70 years. we all look up to america. that's where our strength comes from, that's where world peace comes from when america gets it right. and the other question for me is this war broke out a month ago,

exactly one month ago. where the hell has he been? why wasn't he here the first weekend calling the heads together from the european countries and saying we warned you, we toll you to spend more money on getting your defense up to speed, now please, learn from this. get a move on it. it was a real opportunity, actually, for america to really take control. and, frankly, biden's blown it. pete: nigel, do you think europe is doing enough as it pertains to energy, as it pertains to supporting ukraine? is in a moment where europe steps up? [laughter] >> so i remember donald trump going to a meeting of european leaders, pointing at angela merkel and saying you're making yourself wholly dependent on russian gas, you are making a mistake. and they all thought what a horrible man, oh, isn't he ruled, isn't he vulgar, isn't he awful. i tell you what, he was absolutely right. and so europe's in a mess because they cannot put effective sanctions on putin

because germany and italy, to some degree, literally the lights would go out if putin turns off those taps. so the european response is a mess. the american response has been slow, but it's now happening with much larger numbers of american soldiers going into poland, hence bind's visit. and actually -- and it's rarely i say this -- but for once, boris johnson has been very, very decisive. you know, even the month leading up to this we provided training to ukrainians, we provided phenomenal new anti-tank weapons which are proving very effective. but i the european union can't agree on thinking because it's so split on energy. will: nigel, you can see the approval if rating of joe biden here at home, it's down to 34%, disapproval up to 52% for joe biden. you spoke earlier in the program about some of the calculated decisions of this administration, when and when not to go, when and when not to

leave. i'm curious from an international perspective what you think, what the impression is of joe bide when you see -- joe bide when you see the uncalculated moments. like when you hear him say to the american troops what you're going to see there after committing -- i mean, just from a leadership perspective i don't know what to call them, nigel. gaffes, stumbles, incompetent -- pete: we were told america's back. >> everybody cheering, oh, joe biden's such a great guy. we realize that in terms of the conscious decisions such as withdrawing from afghanistan without consulting us or any --@. pete: right. >> and to hand it back, the conscious decisions have been terrible, and we're on the verge of another because i can see this administration getting back into bed with the iranian regime which would be a huge mistake. and of the other unforced errors, you know, let's be

frank, you know? if this man is an embarrassment to your country, and if he's the leader of the free world, we're all in trouble. rachel: nigel, are the europeans missing trump? [laughter] >> that's a good question. i can assure you there are many people like me in brexit britain that are missing mr. trump. but i think the european leaders were contemptuous of him, and now -- about not buying russian gas. now they know he was right about the means for them to spend the right amount of money on nato portions and not ore lie on -- rely on the american taxpayer. i think if he was president right now, there'd be a certain coolness in the room. but believe you me on those two massive issues, trump was 100% right. rachel: sure was. will: nigel farage, great to talk with you this morning. thank you, nigel. new york city mayor eric adams drops vaccine mandates but only for athletes and performers. still ahead, three city workers

will: you're looking live at warsaw where president biden is arriving for a meeting with the polish president right now. he's expected to give a, quote, major address later today as he wraps up his emergency trip to europe. pete: yeah. that is, there's his -- the beast making it way into the palace there. feels like this is cleanup on the eastern perimeter of nato. what he said over the last couple of days has caused confusion, it's led to russian propaganda, has not provided clarity to the american people about what america's role is, what the end state may be, and

maybe that's why they're labeling this as a major address. rachel: yeah. on teleprompter because they don't want him speaking off the cuff, because when he does, he says, oh, or well, it depends on if it's a minor incursion into russia, which is what he said before the invasion into ukraine by the russians or, as he just said yesterday, making statements that imply that u.s. forces would be on the grown in ukraine, ask they -- on the ground, and they had to clean it up and say, oh, no, he clearly didn't say that when we heard it. now they're going to put him on teleprompter. clean up in aisle 9. will: what would mark a differentiation from the past of where the united states stands today and where this war's gone over the last 32 days? would it be announcement of the delivery of fighter e jets to ukraine? would it be that a red line has been crossed? i think we all know that's not the case. would it be a different approach

to sanctions, to refugees? i'm not sure what i can't anticipate today as a major address is and and a shift in the way -- pete: i think that's a really fair point. you know, none of us take glee or find it enjoyable to be critical of u.s. presidents traveling abroad in the middle of a war. that's not how you want to view this. at the same time, if there isn't clarity on our policy position, will, to your point, then isn't effectively trying to rebrand what he's said before, yeah, i said there was -- we were going to deter vladimir putinen through sanctions, but now sanctions were never going to deter him. we heard him say that a couple days ago, and that's a total reversal of the administration's stance. now you're trying to reshape the way in which you frame it. it's cleaning up what he said about responding in kind, and let's hope that he is unapologetic about, i don't know, our nation's founding

documents as well. maybe he's announcing that he'll be going to ukraine. his advisers said he was not allowed to. i think the president of the united states should be able to dictate his own terms, especially one who's been willing to go to war zones in the past. i think we'll all be watching. will it be a regurgitation of the fact that nato is united, zelenskyy's heroic, or will it be a new direction? we don't know. rachel: i want to hear that our diplomatic force, our state department and, yes, our president, are working towards ending this war. i know there are people across europe who have just seen so much suffering among the civilians, the children and the women, you know, coming from ukraine. so much anguish that i hope that we're working towards a negotiation of some sort and peace in europe again because this has, you know, very deep

repercussions. this now, we're learning, is not just about what happened to ukraine and its borders which, of course, are important, but also this has implications on the global food supply. and let's not forget, you know, the globe has been hit very hard by the pandemic, so many people thrown into poverty. the prospects of this global food supply problem, i can't imagine the impact. i really hope our leaders are thinking really long term, and what we've seen so far doesn't give me much hope for that. will: that was something joe biden was forced to admit again earlier this week, that there should be some anticipation of food shortages going forward as ukraine and russia are some of the world's major wheat suppliers among other food sources in this, in this world. you know, i think the three of us over the last month spent a fair amount of time -- when i say fair, i mean fair amount of time -- talking about.

we've been so misled on so many subjects over the last several years that it's bred an earned skepticism. and that skepticism has bled over into what can you trust about this war. one thing that you can trust, one thing that i think is absolutely clear is the aggressor in this war is vladimir putin and russia. they have conducted an act of war, a war of aggression. they crossed into the polish borders, they are targeting civilians, they are creating a humanitarian crisis, and the question then is, if there is piece peace maybe out of this announcement today, maybe that, pete, is what a major address revolves around, the progress of the potential for peace. rachel: we could hope. will: but that's what i also remain skeptical about because i don't know how the aggressor, russia, finds a peace that's acceptable to vladimir putin. pete: especially when this fight for putin has and remains in many ways an existential one.

his entire grip on power is premisedded on being the strongman who will successfully grow the influence of russia. if he's forced to tuck tail and leave, his troops humiliated, his generals assassinated, he may not survive that. which is a great thing. but he knows that, which means narrowing the scope of what east attempting to do -- he's attempting to do could be part of it, ask peace is what we want. but if pumping weapons into ukraine, that brings us closer to peace. maybe he'll give more indications about what he's willing to do. if i give him one nugget of a positive approach, so far at least this white house that an eye toward insuring they're not intentionally attempting to do manager even more provocative that would widen the war. you don't want to be doing it at the behest of putin and saying, well, what's putin going to do, we can't do anything. that does look weak from an administration that's already weak. but having an eye towards not

turning this into something that expands beyond ukraine's borders is an important thing. this is joe biden in warsaw, poland. he's meeting the president of to lamb, andre due do, there -- andre do da, presumably they'll meet, and when he makes remarks, we'll wring those -- rachel: and poland having such a big role in this, i mean, truly has been the one carrying, that country has carried the largest load in terms of helping and assisting the refugees, now over 2 million. most of them going to poland. poland a little overwhelmed, we're starting to hear from mayors and other people about the strain it's taken on them. i think my concern is if there is an expanded, if this does expand, you know, our role in terms of this war, i just don't trust this administration. i have had nothing -- pete: that's what we're looking at right there, lloyd austin, anthony blinken, at the powers

right there shaking hands with the polish president, jake sullivan, architect of the iran deal -- rachel: and libya. pete: and libya. you go down the rhine and all the hillary clinton stuff -- down the line. as patriotic americans, you look there and say even if i wanted more american action, i don't feel confident that this administering, the one that brought us afghanistan, the worst deal in iran, will deliver something that is strong, that is a reflection of our values, that our southern border is wide open yet we obsess at the border of ukraine because there's a frustration that i think a lot of americans feel. rachel: absolutely. will: not for nothing, but i still don't understand the meeting -- there you hear the anthem of the united states of america playing there. let's are listen in for a moment. rachel: sure. man them -- [national anthem].

[national anthem] ♪ ♪

pete: that was our nation's anthem played in warsaw, poland, ahead of the meeting between joe biden and president duda. and now, i believe, that's the polish anthem being played as well. will: they're heading into a meeting where, reportedly, we're going to hear from joe biden today on a, quote, major address regarding the war between ukraine and russia. we just saw the president of the united states shaking hands with his administration officials including jake sullivan, lloyd austin, samantha powers, tony blinken, they are about to head in for the pleating between the polish and united states -- meeting. i don't think it's insignificant, i sill don't understand the protocols when it comes to covid. here we are, i mean, he's outdoors, i guess, not masked. neither is anybody in the administration. he was meeting with american soldiers yesterday masked indoorses. is that the line now anymore?

i'm not sure. rachel: it's just another example of how confusing so many of the biden administration policies are. you know -- will: nonsensical. rachel: exactly. and we see that, you know, joe biden, america taking the lead, you know, with the nato response to this war, to this incursion into ukraine, and, you know, as you mentioned, pete, all the people we saw behind there, general lloyd austin, general millie, so many of the architects of the failedded policy in afghanistan and is other things that we've had happen in our recent past and history, and you just wonder no one was ever held accountable. in fact, in the state of the union address joe biden never even mentioned the 13 heroes who died because of him at the airport in afghanistan. nobody was ever held accountable. and that is why we have the same players here, pete. pete: yeah. we see biden and duda doing a

review of the troops there as wellment you know -- as well. you know, normally in this moment we would -- there's things you don't talk about when you're talking about a lot about one thing. i know it's an obvious statement, and one of them is the iran deal where we're allowing russia to sit at the table and negotiate -- you talk to people who have studied that closely, they're negotiating a worse deal that existed before and a potential lifeline for russia energy to iran. and so if we're really in this to create a negotiated settlement or a peace or to allow ukraine to win, you would want to be doing that on all fronts, not allowing things to work against you in the process. rachel: in fact, pete, to your point, gordon chang, you know, who's this, you know, expert on china, by the way, is very concerned about this iran deal and actually said the other day that he is concerned that if there is a negotiated settlement, that ukraine won't get the best deal because, basically, the biden

administration has a conflict of interest because they need russia in their negotiation deal with iran. i mean, it's just so twisted. and, you know -- pete: well, there's no good deal for zelenskyy. rachel: correct. pete: if there is a deal to be had, that's what putin wanted to begin with, give me my tough back, or this is i want to expand russia. let's hope these moments, this speech leads to the ability for ukraine to continue to defend itself and a reflection that nato would never allow the war to widen and that the idea of using nuclear or chemical weapons is something that vladimir putin cannot and should not consider doing. will: yeah. let's hope it's something more than a photo op which is taking place as we speak. you bring up the load that poland has carried throughout this war so far. poland is dealing with the refugee crisis, the vast, vast majority of refugees from ukraine are in to poland. poland and several of its mayors said we are at capacity, we

can't take any more refugees. you wonder if that's clearly one of the subjects that will be discussed, where they may end up. pete: you're seeing what is considered a typical pass and review of troops. think about how many times we see those images out of russia or authoritarian states where, you know, masses and masses of troops parade in front of a president. and this is obviously different than russia. but might that have been part of what, part of what was vladimir putin's miscalculation, is look at all my shiny new toys, look at my new tanks, look at my troops perfectly dressed up and believing his own propaganda that ukraine was not a real country and wouldn't fight and he was going to put his toy soldiers into the fight, and russian were going to carry the day? and all of this was based on a hubris that he thought he could control these outcomes, and now he's caught and he's stuck. and if we can find leadership from western leaders and keep him stuck and push him back, it

can be a lesson to other authoritarians like the communist chinese and others who still have territorial ambitions, and we'd better have a strong america if we want to push back. rachel: yeah. the implications are beyond the borders of ukraine. this is absolutely a message to china. and one of the worst things that's happened throughout this has been that bloc that we created, putting, you know, pushing china and russia together. it's something i wish our leaders had thought a little bit about before so many steps before this. i was just -- i just in my heart wish that our leaders had done everything they could, and i feel they haven't, they did not, to make -- so that this war had not started to begin with. will: we have more on this throughout the morning, and we'll keep up on that address from plieden. we'll -- president biden. we'll be right back. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. dovato is for some adults

nurse fired from memorial sloan kettering, anne marine, and sow sofie medina. i'm going to start with you, karen. so it looks like you're fired, but famous people can get their jobs back. what do you think about that? >> it's unprincipled. it's really shameful. it's definitely a double standard. it's unfair to us, all the work we put through during the pandemic, and it's been hard on us. we haven't had the luxury of finances since november 1st, we are weren't being paid, and we're still not being paid, and we were told we couldn't work, you know? so it's hard mentally, emotionally, financially, and it's a big slap in the face. rachel: yeah, it sure is. toes totally -- it's totally discriminatory. and, anne marie, it's also elitist, of all things. you know, the mayor has admitted that he was lobbied to allow for this. he claims it's science-based, i don't get that. if it was science-based, then

you'd be able to go back to work. >> exactly. it's, we as nurses, we are -- and the rest of the health care professionals, we're outraged. there's no science behind this. it's the elites, you know, being able to continue to work in their lively hood, and it's not taken away like ours and our careers have been taken away from us. you know, we're not being paid either. since december 3rd there's no money coming in, and our livelihood has been stripped from us, and it should be stripped from them as well. what's good for them should be good for all. rachel: yeah. >> if they're exempt, we should be exempt. we should get our jobs back. rachel: yeah. let's get everyone back to work. this country needs it. >> absolutely. rachel: that's right. sofie, since this whole thing has happened we've learned so much more information about the vaccines. first they told us that the vaccines were going to prevent covid, then they said -- then we started to see with omicron that, actually, people with the

vaccines were getting and spreading covid more than those who had natural immunities. what's your response? what would you say to mayor adams right now if he was right in front of you? >> right. the science has been shifting, and if you are following the science, you would see that once again the vaccine that was promised to the people as an end-all for covid was clearly not that. omicron proved that. everybody got sick and recovered or didn't, unfortunately. but, you know, we have been fed a bunch of lies about the vaccine, and i would ask the mayor what science he's following when it's clear that it's the money that's being followed. rachel: yeah. sounds like it's political science. ladies, i want to thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. >> thank you very much. rachel: and good luck -- >> can i also say, please, our

good morning. reporter: the president as short time ago wrapped up a meeting with secretary lincoln and the ukrainian counterparts and the defense minister and foreign minister. they will also attend later today what is billed as a major speech from the president tonight following his meeting with the polish president and humanitarian workers later on the meeting is happening right now but biden said yesterday he is disappointed he cannot cross over into ukraine to witness firsthand what is happening there because of security concerns. he is eager to hear from the humanitarian workers today. but it seems to indicate there was a possibility that the troops may head into ukraine. >> women and young people standing in front of the tank

the troops that i am not leaving. i am home right now. they are incredible. they can take inspiration from us. it is not hyperbole they are the finest fighting force in the history of the world. reporter: the white house cleared up any confusion meaning that the president has been clear we are not sending us troops to ukraine and there is no change in that decision. but there is considerable work for that contingency plan in case russia strikes and nato ally through collateral damage. national security advisor has assembled a group called a tiger team to map out the next move or as chemical or biological weapons drift into nato territory. also looking at russia extends into non- nato countries and there is concern that putin is

frustrated by lack of progress to research the most extreme measures. russia is focused on dad coastal cities while failing to take the n-letter. asking nato for unrestricted support telling the alliance they should not be so concerned because president zelenskyy believes he will not stop at ukraine's border and poland on the other side is already dealing with the fallout especially when it comes to the refugee situation. >> tiger team cool name. now let's go straight over to mike told then who is 200 miles south. reporter: good morning. this war is now transitioning to phase two. and we can show you some video

that's part of the t20 region. >> today they are trying to cancel people with discrimination of everything connected with russia the trend is unfolding and with the four encouragement and conniving of the elites. >> we have new video inside of the mariupol drama theater that was used as a bomb shelter by hundreds. it was hit by a local bar 300 people died in that airstrike. that was mariupol west of that controlled by russia they are trying to reclaim and that is where tyler jacobs from

minnesota was teaching english. he fled to crimea and was arrested by russia. >> he had three days to leave the country we had to get him transportation from where he was out. we had to fly out of moscow and he knew that with $100 that was a challenge because credit cards don't work over there and that's all the cash he had to get through this. >> that tyler was released in this now moving back to minnesota. back to you. peter: also great to talk to his dad earlier in the show. now for reaction let's bring in former army staff sergeant and retired green beret, thank you for being here gentleman, a great day to have your expertise. when you talk about what to do in a signaling for the eastern part of the country your reaction to militarily where this is that and what it might tell you about the end state?

>> desperation. you have to do the best you can to put out the messaging because again the russian people and the blue star parents are becoming goldstar parents in russia right now. how do you explain this leadership? you have generals killed right next to yavoriv nco situation. they saw the pictures of the t 72 tanks being blown up with the 1890 tanks being blown up right now. we saw a torsion bar that was ripped out of the side of the tank. not only are you hitting them hard but close proximity if you allow the infantry to walk up to your armored assets to blow them out like that. this is that perky you have to unpack it somehow and the soft landing is we go to phase number two. phase number three is waving the white flag and running back home.

>> there are special military units in the united states but not often where the green berets played a critical role of what is taking place in ukraine. tell us about the role not the role that the green beret plays at large but right here in ukraine? >> there has been on the delta force. it is thoroughly needed but green berets have been operating since 1952 to help the resistance they have been helping those for decades and also with eastern europe to include ukraine over the last ten years. so what you see is not only are they building these capabilities but also building relationships and you build those when risk is low and then you leverage them and you see that play out as surgical

strikes but the number one way that we can block russia and china going forward like afghanistan. rachel: david, the army lowering standards for soldiers that concerns me. i just read an article now about height and weight requirements being lowered just in terms of discipline hairstyles now you can have to toenail polish. what does that do to our military and how dangerous is it that these are happening with conflicts arising all over the globe with problems that seem to be expanding? >> every generation it becomes we look at the generation that came after us and we always think complacency.

we have a lot of young patriotic and earnest kids joining the military today but they are soft and fat and sloppy like the rest of america unfortunately. [laughter] and the army has inherited that. so we are dealing with a lot of push from society trying to change and become more woke. but the russians one year ago showed us how tough the propaganda army commercials were and they are pretty intimidating. the russian army is showing you exactly what it is capable of doing. they are folded up insurers right now in ukraine. so change the nail polish but we will open the eyes of iran and russia and anyone wants to challenge us on the battlefield and closely close that with well directed.

peter: scott, with the russian military we don't know exactly what is verified and what is true. and then dealing with mutiny. and one was run over by his own unit. and what david was telling you about the morale that has to be somewhat of a watermark even with the russian military. >> it's hard to tell and then to enjoy the information advantage for whatever is putting there. and with that paradigm shift they should be paying attention to that. but the point about morale and standard. tom brady is coming back to the buccaneers but he followed that statement with it's been a rough season. i over ate so i need a different standard.

but yet if an older soldier , we are looking at giving them a different standard to go to camp want to combat it is ridiculous and it does affect morale and we have to think about those things as citizens for oversight. peter: i read your point of view and you pointed out that back with certain jobs men and women did differently it made sense but if you're asking them to do the same tasks and they better be held to the same standard which makes sense to me. i went to get back to the american response you see my joe biden has been saying about us troops potentially going to ukraine. or we will respond in time with a chemical attack we didn't try to deter to begin with. now he will be giving a major address. thinking of enemies around the world, what are they reading

from an american president abroad right now? >> this entire conflict is just screaming for american leadership. we don't want to know what vladimir putin will do when his back is against the wall or how he has extended to further put ukrainian men and women and children in harm's way but the real fear is what will america do? do we have a plan what is mutually assured destruction? what are we prepared to do? we saw what our redlines looks like a few years back and how little effort it took for the american military to focus on breaking the back of the caliphate. does this administration have a redlined? it's confusing and schizophrenic and causing irreparable harm right now to the image that nato has to actually implement the will across the globe.

rachel: on the military brats but not an expert i don't have your experience, but all i can do is look at the last thing that happened was our exit from afghanistan. i just saw today in poland as the president arrived with the same team that got us out of afghanistan. i am nervous. >> yes. you are right to point that out. also, i think it is great there is passive support to resistance to ukraine but also afghanistan. the vice president never left the country. he fought. they are still fighting. there are thousands and thousands of afghan commandos and special forces still resisting. america used to be able to walk and chew gum and - - at the same time with multiple threads with unconditional warfare and we just abandoned the afghan people.

that will come back to haunt us in so many ways. i really hope we can shift our focus to what you just talked about because right now there are unspeakable losses happening there. rachel: children are being sold, there is famine, it is an unmitigated humanitarian disaster. peter: and the people that your green berets trained are the ones that have stayed and fought and are still fighting to your point. those trained in ukraine trained by the green berets are the ones leading the flight —- the fight against russia. 's we have the ability to train capacity if we back it up properly. you guys have always backed it up we appreciate your insight this morning. rachel: thank you for joining us. now to the headlines.

shannon is the perfect person to do it. again it is called the mothers and daughters of the bible speak. there's also a "fox nation" special. rachel: there is a message especially in times like this. >> russian president vladimir putin tries to cancel russian history and we are here to react to the latest propaganda. rachel: the latest polls are not getting any better with the foreign-policy. and the inflation surge. we are life next on that. before discovering nexium 24hr to treat her frequent heartburn... claire could only imagine enjoying chocolate cake. now, she can have her cake and eat it too. nexium 24hr stops acid before it starts for all-day, all-night protection. can you imagine 24 hours without heartburn?

peter: joe biden now meeting with the polish president and made a humanitarian crisis in poland. one day after the white house had to walk back biden's comments on sending us troops. he said it to ukraine. >> you will see when you are there you will see women, young people standing in front of a dam tank to say

i am not live leaving program holding my ground. >> meanwhile a new poll shows biden job approval not getting any better plunging at 34 percent job approval. here to react is ohio congressman serving as a colonel us army reserves, colonel thank you for being here. you have seen joe biden talk to the troops and generally making a couple of missteps. his approval rating is where it is. he's giving a major address in minutes. what do you hope to hear from him? >> i would hope to see some kind of strength and confidence rather than weakness and incompetence and unfortunately it's the latter that we keep seeing from the president of the united states i'm sorry to say. we are in a situation right now.

ukrainians are fighting for freedom. we have a situation where the russians don't know why they are fighting and we are seeing some amazing things. now we see russian tanks run over their own commander or generals are getting killed. they will see the body bags of their own people. but morale matters. and if we are showing strength, it certainly hurts the morale of the russians that are out there fighting. it is a psychological weapon and we have seen it is destroying them. we talked to condoleezza rice and she talked about the putin she has known for years. he used to be called the rational. now he is delusional and irrational. putin underestimated what he was getting into with he has united the west for one thing and has also seen the ukrainians are very united and resolved and that zelensky is

a strong leader i wish others would take notice of. i think he underestimated the ukrainian troops and overestimated his own and that he would be welcomed but a lot of this was avoidable we talk about this all the time with no deterrence under obama or biden and then biden actually removes sanctions that you know what we do we say what we won't do this is not helping the situation so i see something stronger. peter: i hope so you talk about removing sanctions but that could be part of a new iran deal the biden administration is very close to a possible deal with iran. russia is in the middle of that conversation so we are told right now that potentially the us may allow russia to buy iran's access

enriched uranium. help me square the circle that russia is dictating are helping to determine then bad deal with iran? >> i cannot. it is a circle the maximum pressure campaign from the administration was the best thing for america and american security and even piece in that part of the world with what we were doing. now you have a situation where russia can buy enriched uranium to stop iran. that is the message. but putin is the one who is threatening nuclear warfare. this doesn't make sense. of course it has been reported that biden would like for the united states to buy iranian oil. this makes no sense.

this whole thing is putting maximum pressure on the united states of america on —- united states of america. this is the attitude of the administration. i heard people say it was wrong to go get solo money that will aggravate the iranians enable try to retaliate. they had been hitting since 1979. i served in iraq. you are in theater. i know who is killing our troops. iranians. the forensics rollover this. this is a bad deal. the whole world is turning in on russia. and we are working with them to make them stronger and as weaker. peter: you are right. iranians respect to strengthen putin respects strength. under this deal putin invades after trump leaves. it's not hard to put those pieces together. colonel westrup thank you so much. still ahead, who will stand up for me? the words from a senior trakstar from trans gender athletes dominate sports. coming up next.

don't wish any other person has to deal with. and in the next two years have to deal with it. so i hope to create fairness in the women's sport to speak out. pete: are you scared? it seems like many are not speaking out is the fear of the repercussion of what could affect —. >> yes it is scary. but it is something that needs to be done because like i said in the op-ed, if we don't speak out then who will? >> you are in college now so what are the repercussions for you speaking out? >> it is scary because there are people who obviously disagree. it is a very controversial topic and it's scary because you don't know if it will affect future jobs.

but it is something that is important and i think i scary as it is to stand up for what you believe in. >> absolutely right. this repercussions are real and could happen but it's important enough to speak out. i want to and with this you have personal experience. you have raced against transgender athletes and tell us about that. >> yes. it is a situation that makes you feel powerless and it's very intimidating to compete against him when you look down the line they are over a foot taller than you. it is scary. >> it has bumped you out of the top 25 and top 15. by the way there is a fascinating pitcher literally abiding week ahead off the block from other swimmers and

it is unjust. thank you for speaking out and joining us this morning and thank you for your bravery. >> happy to be here. thank you for having me. >> i repercussions come true still ahead vladimir putin accuses the west to cancel russian history and brian kill made is next on the latest propaganda. this is awesome for any type of plant, especially for a beginning gardener.

>> today they are trying to cancel a whole 1000 -year-old country, our people are client talking about discrimination from everything connected with russia. the trend is unfolding in western states and with the full conniving and sometimes at the encouragement of the ruling elites. rachel: vladimir putin accuses the west it is trying to cancel russian history to compare it to nazi germany. pete: we have brian kilmeade to. vladimir putin is very good at propaganda and here we have him latching onto and issuing an american domestic politics to spend it for his benefit. >> a couple of things. he is doing this but he is desperate to unify his country around a common cause that

they have been fully informed on. i will take what they are not doing it to me. there doing it to you. they are trying to get rid of russia. i'm just the biggest name but they don't like you. and point out a couple of things is a little ham-handed the way he does it coming to push 43 at the white house and said basically you guys accuse us about the free press you have the anchor fired and the president said what you talking about? the dan rather situation. putin thought george bush fired dan rather. he said i didn't get him fired. that's a private company. putin never believed it. he has his own sense of history which he tells his people goes on for hours talking about how ukraine belongs in russia and it is god's will. and he rose this out and brings up jk rowling and they

went to cancel him like other artists. no. you bonded theater in killed 400 artist you are killing people indiscriminately. he doesn't want people to know that also you need to rally behind my cause because 150 separate cities had demonstrations and he is probably running out of prison space. rachel: i am okay with punishing putin if they want to sanction his whale. i think that's great that a 20 -year-old prodigy playing piano who was scheduled to play at a big recital in canada and they canceled him and said you cannot come because you are russian. the metropolitan opera has cut ties with several russian artists. why can't we make a difference between russian culture and people who just want to play music versus the bad guy who is invading another country? reporter. >> that's a good point i don't

want to buy their oil or their wheat or grain but if they want to play the piano if they want to go to the ballet and don't want to deny them from culture but i am with you. that is something that plays into his hands. so one thing we haven't done a good job is constantly saying it's not about the russian people. you have a great history. you have a bad guy. also you did not elect him after 1991. he just hung around. so for the most part we will do your dirty work but understand from us we are not targeting you which is why it is so important that as angry as ukraine gets they stay away from moscow or st. petersburg. you don't want explosions or ied's happening in their cities to unite the country and have vladimir putin's theory be confirmed. there is a problem with ukraine.

they are not these which we know they are not. and not see. so stay away even though they could probably to have havoc in the street like the ira did with britain. >> and the man making that type the decision is president zelenskyy who was stepped up in this process and now you have a new series on "fox nation" called who is vladimir zelensky? here is a quick clip. >> it has been really inspiring to ukrainians to see the president taking the same risks. >> after weeks of bombardment they didn't need an inspirational leader but a statesman to rally the world as well. >> he stepped out of the role of a comedian into the role of

a world leader in a major shaper of history. >> is there anything that was a clue to who he is quick. >> "fox nation" is doing so well i'm coming in early today even though the show is tonight to make it bigger. we added some segments it will be a special sunday night 10:00 o'clock p.m. i cannot believe how much i did not know i knew of him as a statesman and a leader in the election when nobody took them serious. he did something hillary clinton made a mistake and george bush and barack obama they thought that he could be friends with vladimir putin he had a problem not me a clue up in their faces.

zelensky ran for president think i could have better relations with pigeon i know moscow. i know what it takes to be successful in russian culture because as a comedian and actor coming up. for us it is new york city or los angeles but for them i would love to fill a theater in moscow. he felt he knew the russian culture and people. i can break through and putin did it. he is weak, a comedian, he doesn't know what it takes to lead a country in the country belongs to me anyway. and just when he was younger , he also spent time in mongolia where he was born under the soviet union sphere of influence. he watch them get their freedom and then expand and look west while russia would have her in the autocratic rule. everybody his age was thinking i want freedom.

i want freedom of expression. i want to be able to perform. i want to have fun. the big problem was he made fun of vladimir putin in his series. when he did that he became persona non grata. for a guy who likes to kill people on his blood list he is thin-skinned. pete: you said vladimir putin underestimated zelensky but nobody is underestimating st. peter's a small college in new jersey the first 15 to make it to the elite eight it is a huge story. underdogs every step of the way but they keep winning. >> number one this coaches unbelievable. the way he just rallies his guys. he can do that type of recruiting with the worst facilities in division i sports. a lot of times when guys and women taken when they look at the college and they say the locker rooms are too small the

gym is a mess. there is no rich history i have to at least get me to european basketball when i'm done. i cannot go here. somehow this guy who is a remarkable career as a college player convinces the players to come here. you will play. even begins to give you an opportunity of the ncaa tournament and you will play. if you make the tournament you went one and done. nobody has ever done this it is almost impossible and we are witnessing this happening with a bunch of kids to could care less how much history they are making. they fear no one. i always enjoy i don't care if it is volleyball or football. when you defy what - - defy the odds once but then you do three times and again on sunday i don't care if you like basketball or not. they are doing something extremely special and in a fearless way. that i have never seen before. >> st. peter's versus north carolina. rachel: don't miss your show

tonight. >> thank you rachel. >> we are more focused on the next segment. [laughter] pete: the history of television. >> this is unbelievable. [laughter] pete: period love for you. [laughter] >> and now joe biden will have a bilateral meeting with the polish president and we will check in really quick. >> . >> we are working on if there

will be a real time translation from polish. if so we will get back in otherwise people wait to hear from president biden on the other side to get a sense of what the conversation is from the polish president. >> i strongly believe that this partnership. rachel: reports of another major revelation from hunter biden that includes millions of dollars and bio lab research and ukraine. charlie hurt on that next. stay with us. to give you personalized support, for all-day pain relief. find your relief in store or online.

>> after having led the effort from poland to join nato. i use the phrase and my ambassador reminded me of this, i said started off by saying, for your freedom and four hours. for your freedom and four hours. and then i mean it then and a mean it now. mr. president, most important thing that binds us together are the values, freedom, freedom of the press, making sure government is transparent or

if people have the right to vote. it's good to be back in this room again. and that we are discussing a lot of things in private. not the least of which wise, as i pointed out, is that america's ability to meet its role in other parts of the world rests upon a united europe insecurity. we have learned from sad experience from two world wars that it comes back to haunt us. and i have been saying for a long time as a senator as part

of the foreign relations committee and as vice president and now as president, stability in europe is critically important to the united states in terms of our interest not only europe but around the world. so what we talked about is to stay in constant talk on —- constant contact to know what one another are doing. the united states and my colleagues on this side of the table heard me say many times, we take article five as a sacred commitment. not a throwaway. a sacred commitment that relates to every member of nato. one of the things i said thank you downstairs to the president was that the single most important criteria in this time this changing world

here and other parts of the world, is that that they stay absolutely completely and thoroughly united. no separation in our points of view. whatever we do, we do in unison and everyone comes along. i am confident that vladimir putin was counting on dividing it up separating the eastern flank from the west that he hasn't been able to do it and we all stayed together and so i just think it is so important that we keep in lockstep of how we are perceived. and we do acknowledge point has taken on a with all of the

responsibility. and the fact that you have so many ukrainians seeking refuge in this country of poland. we understand that because to our southern border thousands of people per day literally, not figuratively trying to get into the united states but we believe that we should do our part relatives to ukraine as well by opening our borders to another 100,000 people. but in addition to that, i think it's important that we are in constant contact and wish we can proceed to what russia is doing. i want to thank you mr. president to be available

and so cooperative and letting us know what is on your mind. but i will and i began from where our responsibilities are, we take as a sacred obligation, article five. a sacred obligation of article five. and you can count on that. and i will and where i so thank you very much. [inaudible conversations] rachel: all right. that was president joe biden in warsaw, poland, speaking with the polish president talking about the crisis, the war in ukraine between the ukraine and russia and also the relationship

and the role of nato in all of this. let's bring in our good friend, he's a fox news contributor and a washington times opinion editor, charlie hurt. charlie, how is our president doing, in your view, during this visit? >> wow. not well. you didn't think that things could get worse than kamala harris, but then joe biden goes over there, and you realize somebody is capable of doing a worse visit than she did. when e he's sitting there speaking, you get very nervous. i just want america to succeed, and i want our president to succeed and do well. and you sit there and you listen to him, and you're on tinder hooks because you're so afraid of what's about to come out of his mouth. he talks about how article v is a sacred commitment and it's not a throwaway line. nobody thinks it's a throwaway line, mr. president. everybody knows it's a sacred commitment. that's why we're so scare.

that's why americans are so concerned about the utter mess that this president has made specifically in ukraine not only in creating this situation that allowed vladimir putin to invade in the first place, but then his response to all of it. that's why everyone is concerned about this. and so anytime you hear him going on and on about how, lecturing fellow, you know, europeans about how article v is a say celled commitment. yes, we all know that -- sacred. they know that too. will: hey, charlie, there's no doubt that vladimir putin underestimated the fight he is now bogged down in here. we all think he underestimated the will of the ukrainian people. did he also, as joe biden describes, underestimate nato's resolve? joe biden talked about vladimir putin thinking he might be able to fracture nato. you can hear the message both from kamala harris and joe biden about unity.

that's certainly something they've hammered. unity, unity, unity, we stand with poland, our messages are one. did putin underestimate that? tud he think he could fracture nato? >> i don't know that he necessarily underestimated it because i'm -- you know, what else is nato going to do, but horrified by an incursion, by an invasion by russia into ukraine? i think -- so i don't know that he necessarily underestimated that, but he certainly underestimated, i think, the ukrainian people, their desire not to be invaded by russia. and, you know, in a world where there's so much prop prop -- propaganda going around, the most important piece was at the very beginning, vladimir putin claimed he was going to liberate ukraine, and that was with this invasion. and he still talks like that, and it's a total lie, it's a complete lie. if there's nothing else that is

not more obvious on the ground is the fact that the ukrainian people do not want to be part of russia. hard stop. pete: charlie, joe biden's scheduled to give what they're, what the white house is describing as a major address. that's not what we heard here. this is the portion of a bilateral meeting. yet as you pointed out, he's been in clean-up mold since he got -- mode since he got there. would we respond in kind with chemical weapons, they wouldn't let me go to ukraine or even the biggest one which feels like he's attempting to revisit history at this point, we never really were attempting to deter vladimir putin with sanctions, that was never the point. i mean, they don't want the blame for what's unfolding there. what would you like to hear him say, or even better, i think i know what you might want him to say, what do you expect him to say? will it be anything different? >> i'm afraid i don't think it will be anything different from what we have seen so far.

we've seen no abilities by this president to realize, understand the mistakes he's making and to correct his course which has been a hallmark of this white house, you know, mainly on domestic issues, you know, every domestic issue that comes up they want to argue about, oh, it's not really an issue whether it's immigration, inflation, gas prices or anything like that. but the same problem over there. you know, they're not, you know, they're not fixing the problems that they're, that they're creating. you know, obviously the white house has to go into clean-up mode, and you livessed the most appalling of them -- listed the most appalling of them where the president said we're going to respond in kind to a chemical attack, and i get it, maybe he meant manager else. but when he's sitting there talking to the 82nd airborne ang about? how do you send mixeded messages like this? you know, you're confusing the troops. the american people have no idea what you're talking about. you're confusing the troops.

your commander in chief, you're confusing the troops, and the enemy is laughing at you because they have no idea what you're talking about either. and, you know, you can say what you want to about donald trump using harsh language and things like that, but nobody had any do you wants about what he was talking about. -- doubts about what he was talking about. and when he said things like, yeah, you have a button, i have a bigger button and mine works, there was no doubt, no one do you wanted what he was talking about and that he was not messing around. this guy you really have no idea what he's talking about, and it's frightening. i don't agree with the guy, i didn't vote for the guy, but i want -- i desperately want him to succeed. he's our commander in chief. i don't want, i don't want him to fail. but this is a real problem. and i think that we're reaching a crisis that, with leadership here that, that, you know, people need to figure out what to do about this. pete: it's one thing to be unpredictable, it's a whole other thing to be totally

indecipherable or, ultimately, not only dud does vladimir putin not know what to do with it, he translates that that statement into his own internal propaganda which rationalizes the war to his own people and plays right into his hand. charlie hurt, thank you so much for being with us. rachel: thanks, charlie. pete: if you're just joining us, we're 5 minutes into the 9:00 hour because we just wrapped up joe biden's comments live from his meeting with the president of poland, expressing the importance, as charlie said, of nato staying united on his last day of the visit to europe. rachel: he also talked about freedom of of the press and let's get right to jacqui heinrich who's traveling with the president many in poland. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you guys. this is the last leg of a very high stakes trip. as you just heard from the

president, a big focus here for his trip has been making sure that the nato alliance is reinforced, that all 30 nations have a unified response to russian aggression. the president has repeatedly said that unity among nato allies is the strongest tool that they have against vladimir putin who really underestimated how aligned the west and its allies would be. however, that has not been enough for ukraine. president certificate hen sky repeating calls for unrestricted aid, urging allies not to be concerned about provoking putin because they believe it is clear he is not going to stop at ukraine's border. defense officials think putin's frustrated at a lack of progress taking the capital of kyiv, and there are major concerns that putin will resort to using his most dangerous weapons of mass destruction. u.s. and nato have heightened fears of a chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear attack sending equipment to ukraine and

increasing supplies within the nato alliance, but ukraine is not satisfied with the results of this major summit so far. the head of the office of the president saying this to the atlantic council yesterday. >> we are very disappointed. we'd expect more bravery, expect some decisions. the idea of making decisions as if there is no war. if. >> reporter: today the ukraine's foreign minister and defense minister joined president biden, secretary blinken and secretary austin in a meeting. it marks the first time bind has met with ukrainian officials face to face -- biden. but with nato allies not having warmed to the idea of a no-fly zone or sending a peace-keeping operation of troops, it is unclear what promises biden can deliver to ukraine. his meeting with president duda right now has a major focus on refugees. more than 2 million have crossed

over into poland. due da has asked the u.s. to -- duda has asked the u.s. to streamline its process for ukrainians who have family there. afternoon president biden is meeting with humanitarian workers who are aiding in the refugee situation. back to you guys. rachelthank you. let's go straight to jeff paul live on the ground in lviv, ukraine. jeff, good morning. >> reporter: yeah. after several days of air raid sirens here in lviv, it has been relatively quiet. but at the same time, russian forces appear to be changing their shift and focus of this invasion. many key cities throughout ukraine continue to be attacked in near-endless raids. one of those cities is the besieged mariupol where ukrainian government officials say many people there, tens of thousands of the 100,000 might be trapped there without food, water, a safe way to get out or get to any of that humanitarian

aid. russian forces have socially surrounded the city, and after they bombed a bridge that connects to kyiv, people are finding it hard to locate food and medical supplies. now, we're also learning that minnesota native tyler jacob has been freed from detention in russia. he was teaching english in ukraine, but when the invasion started, he fled to crimea. minnesota senator amy klobuchar who worked with her team to locate and free jacob, says she's relieved. here's how his dad is reacting. >> there's been some angels that have appeared out of nowhere that have helped with this, and it's been a very humbling experience for our whole family. to tell tyler about what's happened on this side, he just is tearful and grateful and so happy to be in safe ground right now. >> reporter: yeah, great interview right there that you heard here on fox news, and we're learning that he's now

heading back to minnesota. back to you. will: thank you, jeff. rachel: thank you, jeff. pete: let's bring in our friend dan bongino, host of "unfiltered with dan bongino." jacqui heinrich starts her report and says the best part is this is the last leg of joe biden's trip. if you want him to succeed, you want the message to be clear, you want there to be strength, yet it's cleanup after cleanup and confusion, dan. what do you make of what's going on over there? >> well, there were a couple of things in that. i was listening to it in my ear as you all were when it was happening. you know, it's ironic, again, how during the trump presidency everything biden says they should do trump did, biden undid and is now going back pretending he didn't undo it. here's what i mean. he says, you know, article v, it's sacred, you know, the stability of europe matters. okay, great. well, it was trump who told the

members of nato who would implement article v -- in other words, if you attack one of us, you attack all of nato, and we're all going to respond collectively -- pete, if you remember, it was donald trump who said to the nato countries, hey, nato's kind of useless if you're not going to put together enough of a military to attack back. is everyone forgetting this? is this like the men in black scene where they wave the thing and biden pretends none of it happened. >> it was donald trump who sat across the table from nato and, on camera, said, listen, you want nato to work in we're not going to be the policemen here. we're already the ones anchoring nato. you all, who we're protecting in europe with, you have to meet the 2% of gdp threshold to support and build your military so that we're not left holding the burden. i mean -- rachel: yeah. >> -- is everybody forgetting this? one more thing too, the stability of europe, it was donald trump who said, you know, i've got this crazy idea, it's

possibly not a good idea for you to be buying natural gas from, from russia, bypassing transsit fees in ukraine using nord stream nord stream 2 going right to germany so putin can give the middle finger to ukraine, that might lead to a problem down the road because ukraine wouldn't have leverage. and everybody was like, ah, that donald trump, what an idiot. he's got mean tweets. give me the mean tweets back. the security of europe was stable under trump because he said things needed to be done. biden's pretending he doesn't know any of it. rachel: you brought up such great points. i think throughout this whole thing you see joe biden and these european leaders have tried to turn the page on donald trump, but the ghost of trump keeps coming up because of exactly the things you said. here's another case where donald trump secured our southern border, a border that americans really care about, and here's joe biden just now. listen to this clip.

he's talking about his open borders, how he changed that policy and refugees. take a listen. >> the fact that you have so many, so many ukrainians seeking refuge in this country, poland, we understand that because we have at our southern border thousands of people a day literally, not figuratively, trying to get into the united states. but we believe that we, the united states, should be -- relative to ukraine as well, why opening our borders to another 100,000 people. rachel: i'm just going to let you go on that, dan. >> i mean, listen, i have a podcast and a show, i keep up with current events like you guys do. i was not aware there was a major invasion going on in central and south america. i was -- because comparing the two situations, it's so completely ridiculous.

again, it goes back to my theory that if joe biden would just stay quiet, everything would be a lot better. just please stop talking. the refugee crisis at our southern border being compared to ukraine where their homes and towns, where mariupol's been entirely wiped out, leveled like grozny, you're comparing the two things. and one more hinge on this and how clue areless this guy -- clueless this guy is. james freeman had this piece in the "wall street journal," a biden administration official talking about taking refugees from ukraine, said, you know, we're going to prioritize people who are lgbt, and i'm thinking to myself -- and freeman wrote this too -- you're putting a task, some kind of sexual test or gender test to get in from a war zone? like, can these people ever just, like, get out of their own ways and surgically remove their heads from their rectums and just see the world as it is and not as it should be? we have a crisis at the southern immigration process. there is an asylum process.

there's not a war going on in south and central america right now. his ability to go overseas and engage in political nonsense when he says this is an emergency meeting that needed to happen because we're on the precipice of world war iii, it's really unprecedented. i have never seen a guy with a longer resumé in politics -- i'm not kidding -- be fewer skills than this guy. name another one who can screw up a situation by just opening his mouth. even barack obama said it, you know, saying don't underestimate joe's ability to -- i don't want to say, you get the point, to mess things up, let's say. he didn't use the words mess things up. it started with a different letter. obama knew it too. will: i didn't understand completely either, you're right, he's trying to draw parallels between our southern border and what's happening in poland, but his conclusion is, therefore, we can open our borders taking 100,000 polish refugees. i don't know where that

meandering sentence was leading, but it seemed to be leading towards some conclusion that we probably ought to have a discussion about. [laughter] >> it's not. discussion, will, that's not how toe totalitarianism goes to work. you make it about lgbtq issues which is almost nothing whatsoever to do with the war in ukraine. you care about those issues, fine. that's not what's going on in ukraine right now. you're absolutely right, you can open up the border, we have an excuse. look, we're being benevolent. will: right. >> how offensive to people in ukraine having their houses bombarded. pete: to me, it felt like a tacit admission. of course joe biden knows that illegals are coming across our southern border, and his logic is we feel your pain, we've got thousands, so we'll open our borders even more to 100,000 ukrainians as well. not a fair comparison at all, but he knows what they're doing at our southern border, and yet

he's running to the ukrainian border to talk about their border crisis. rachel: but putin created the ukrainian refugee situation. in this case, biden created the open border that is now bringing people from not just latin and central america, but from all over the world. i just did a story earlier in the show we now know there's russian agents in mexico. we don't know what the hell they're doing, and mexico's saying we don't know anything about it, but our people are saying there is. there's chaos at our border, dan. >> you know, it goes back to my -- i discussed this on my show last week in my build back better thing. listen, regardless of what the motivation, what actually has biden built back better? you can blame trump all you want, but everything's worse. my theory is the idea that if you can observe something, you can change something just by observing the nature of it. this applies to biden. whatever biden observes and talks about, biden makes worse. if he talks about immigration and the border like he did at the campaign, what happens? more people come in.

hey, it's joe biden. he talks about an invasion of eastern ukraine being a minor invasion, what happened? putin invades. i'm not kidding. everything biden opens his mouth about always gets worse. the very act of him observing it he screws up. media, dan bongino agrees with barack obama. don't underestimate joe's a ability to screw things up. barack obama was 100%, maybe the one thing i agree with barack obama. we just should have listened to him on that one. rachel: that's a fox news alert. [laughter] will: coming up tonight, you have donald trump jr. and dr. erin. >> yeah, don't miss it. this great reset thing, man. don't sell this thing short. they keep talking about it on the left, and i've got a whole monologue on it. don't let them get away with it. they're going to tell you it's a conspiracy theory, but it's them talking about it, not us.

you didn't think i'd slip that promo in there, did you? pete: i knew you would. i learned. [laughter] rachel: it's an unmisable show. -- unmissable show. incredible topics, dan. >> you guys are great. pete: dan, thanks a lot. all right. well, you saw it here live, joe biden speaking during a meeting with poland's president. he's expected to speak again in what they're calling a major address. former white house press secretary caylee mcenaney on biden's handling of the ukraine crisis on the world stage coming up. and russia reportedly suffering major losses.. -- a major general who helped train ukrainian special forces just a couple of months ago, he's got insights. that's up next. ♪

♪ pete: up to 15,000, that's how many troops russia may have lost in just the last four weeks, the first four weeks of invading ukraine according to a nato official. so is this really the war putin expected it to be? here with his analysis is former

commander of special operations command europe and strategic adviser on special operations forces to ukraine, major general michael repass. full disclosure, we met a couple days ago filming an episode of" modern warriors," and i was so fascinated with your experience. you were in ukraine with as recently as january training ukrainian forces. when you look at this casualty count of the russians, does it surprise you at all, the limits on their capabilities? >> yeah. so the numbers are staggering, quite frankly, particularly in a historical context, pete. if you look at what has happened not only in the past four weeks, but take that compared to what's happened in the past, the numbers in the modern era are absolutely unparalleled. let me break it down for you. they started with about 190,000 troops. the conservative estimate on the u.s. side about a week ago was 7,000 were killed. there was another number that

was published online in russian media, there was 10,000 kill killed. and the -yard lines are claiming a little over 16,000 were kille. those numbers actually, there's a lot more meaning to it. if you consider that for every casualty there's three wounded, so you start taking these numbers 7-16,000, and suddenly you end up with somewhere between 28,000 and 64,000 either killed, wounded, portfolio o.w. or miss -- p.o.w. or missing in action. the forces that stepped across the line into ukraine a month and two days ago. these numbers are absolutely astounding particularly when you consider9 that the russians lost about 14,400 in afghanistan over the course of ten years. and then, finally, on the u.s. side we only lost -- only, we lost 5,400 or so killed in

action combined from iraq and afghanistan over 20 years. so russia's, clearly, in unprecedented territory. pete: and you would know this better than i as a military planner, but you lose that percentage of your troops, and you're not mission capable anymore. your ability to operate is extremely limited. i want to get your expertise on the training of ukrainians. up until january you were serving as strategic adviser to ukrainian special forces. you know their capabilities as well as anyone that could be on our channel. when you consider the fact that the russians attacked from every conceivable direction even more than we would have ever anticipated in the beginning, and ukrainians have effectively been able to hold them off, does it surprise you -- get us inside the training of ukrainian special forces and their capabilities. >> so across nato 15 different nations contributed to training the special operations forces. it's a very intense training period that really started in

earnest in 2015. we trained them on individual skills and worked up to collective-level skills. they did everything from sniper training to individual proficiency and demolition, small arms tactics, the whole nine yards there. if -- so the nato nations, the u.s. was a big part of that, did a tremendous job in preparing their special operations forces. on the conventional side, there was an a equal and perhaps greater effort to work with the ukrainians, ukrainian conventional forces out at the training center near lviv. they had the group that worked with the conventional forces, did a superb job out there getting those guys ready for the defense. everybody knew that russia was going to attack, so the incentive to do well in training to acquire the skills was there. yeah. pete: so i -- and as we spoke just a couple days ago, you're not surprised by this. it is a reflection of the

ability of green berets, special forces in our military to train up capable troops to fight for their own freedom, and that's what the ukrainianens -- led by ukrainian special forces and that expertise tease -- are doing right now. major general michael repass, thank you so much for your service. >> thank you, pete. pete: still ahead, is new york city's major following the silence? -- mayor following the signs? lawrence jones reacts to the democrats' double standard, that's coming up next. it's dr. scholl's time. our insoles are designed with unique massaging gel waves, for all-day comfort and energy. find your relief in store or online. it's still the eat fresh refresh, and subway's refreshing their italians. so, we're taking this to italy. refresh.

minutes behind schedule this morning, so we should see him in just about an hour and a half meet with ukrainian refugees at a soccer stadium in warsaw. it is a refugee center, and it will actually be the fist time the president sees -- first time the president see ises refugees in person. he was at the epicenter of the refugee crisis yesterday and did not get to meet a single ukrainian every few gee. so he said that he was disappointed by that yesterday. >> i've been in poland to see firsthand the humanitarian crisis and, quite frankly, part of my disappointment is that i can't see it first like i have in other places. they will not let me, understandably i guess, cross the border and take a look at what's going on in, in ukraine. >> reporter: yeah. he said they will not let me but didn't explain who "they" were.

biden did get a briefing from aid workers who are working face to face with refugees. poland has the brunt of this crisis. small polish border towns are leaning a lot onion profit groups to process all the ukrainians, giving them food, shelter, medical attention, and the u.n. refugee agency reports that the mayors of those larger polish cities like warsaw and krakow are struggling to accommodate new arrivals. on thursday the administration pledged a billion dollars in humanitarian aid and also promised to accept up to 100,000 ukrainian refugees, but, rachel, many ukrainians, they want to go home. they, along with aid workers, want the president and nato leaders to come up with some concrete solutions of how to bring this war to an end. >> translator: i hope that they are close the air space. we are getting a lot of help now, really a lot. but our people are still suffering, especially those who

live in the eastern part of ukraine. a lot of work was done, but we mostly hope for the end of the war as soon as possible. >> reporter: and, rachel, the president just told president duda of poland that they are taking on a significant portion of this crisis that they should not have to and that this is the responsibility of all nato allies. rachel? rachel: i have been following your reports on the ref of few gees, they have -- refugees. they have been excellent. thank you so much, and please stay safe. we want you back. [laugher] okay. well, our president did weigh in on refugees. kayleigh, i want to bring you in, kayleigh mcenany, co-host of "outnumbered" and former white house press secretary. i want to play you this clip talking about refugees, comparing it to our crisis at the border. take a listen, we'll get your reaction on the other side. >> the fact that you have so

many, so many ukrainians seeking refuge in this country of poland, we understand that because we have at our southern border thousands of people a day literally, not figuratively, trying to get into the united states. but we believe that we, the united states, should do our part relative to ukraine as well by opening our borders to another 100,000 people. and -- rachel: so a little meandering, not sure what his point is, but he did bring up the southern border, a rye -- crisis that he created. >> yeah. one of the only times we hear him talk about the southern board border, right, rachel? yes, of course, there are people who come across our border, we have a refugee process for that. but alongside that we have ms-13, we have cartels, we have gang members, we have child smugglers, we have victims of those child smugglers.

that's happening on our southern border. to compare that to the greatest refugee crisis in europe since world war ii, millions and millions fleeing russian aggression, is an egregious comparison. it just goes to show president joe biden, he's not all there. rachel: yeah, it definitely does point to somebody who's just out of touch and really there making all kinds of mistakes. i think that the biden administration was hoping that this crises that that even this trip to europe might booster or boost his poll numbers. take a look at this, biden's approval numbers are still just at 34%. what to you make of this? -- what do you make of this? >> yeah. doesn't spell good news for the midterms now, does it? 34%. i'm terrorize -- surprised it's that high. you're exactly right, the white house was hoping this war would buoy president biden as being seen as somewhat of a wartime president, it would aid him.

i'm not suggesting they were hoping for the war, but suggesting, in fact, it would be used to boost his leadership image. hasn't worked, it's not going to work, rachel. what has happened? he said sanctions were not meant to deter. his entire administration has contradicted him on that point. he said he is hoping to increase and disseminate shortages, not sure what that means. he told the 82nd airborne don't jump. what a bizarre statement, it was like at the end of the state of the union, i'm not sure what he meant. and i think suggesting that american troops were going to get involved in what is happening in ukraine, the white house spotted that immediately with the reporter, andrew feinberg, to make that statement even if it's a plus -- blunder or a gaffe, really dangerous. rachel: yeah. the response by the americans would fend on if it was a minor incursion or not before russia went into ukraine. terrible stuff. i want to move to something else because this is very

interesting. it's part of this nexus. you know, all the players here, russia, china, ukraine, all have ties to hunter biden and the biden family corruption. so let's take a look, there's a new, there's some e-mail information that has come out of hunter biden's e-mails that say, this one is reportedly connecting him to the biolab in ukraine. his laptop saying that they confirmed his lobbying on behalf of his investment firm which invested $500,000 in pathogen research company, and that's according to "the new york post." one e-mail from the vice president of the company to hunter biden reads, quote: the attached memo provides an overview, our engagement in ukraine and how we can potentially leverage our team's networks and concepts to usurp ukraine's cultural, economic independence from russia and continued integration into

western society. this is really interesting because first they said he had no connection to it, and then "the new york post" came out with this information from the laptop. what do you make of it? >> oh, but that's all russian disinformation, rachel, right? that's what we were told for a year plus. egregious. that we are just now learning about this, this story's been out there circulating for two- plus years. that's scary stuff, being connected to a biolab in ukraine? there's more to this story, and we've only scratched the surface. i remember asking the press corps, hey, guys, pay attention to this, why aren't you covering it? after the bobulinski interview, one of the reporters said, well, that was, quote, interesting. i wish there was a little more interest from the mainstream press. a new york times admission is one thing, but do your job. dig on this story. it is an important story. it is factual, and you just presented yet another piece of what i believe is a very big puzzle. rachel: yeah.

i don't think this story's about hunter, i really think it's about the president and whether he's compromise, whether he has our interests, the interests of the united states of america ahead of his own and his son's. i think it's a very important story, and you're right to point that out. kayleigh, thanks so much for joining us this morning. always great having you. >> thank you, rachel. rachel: you got it. coming up, a group in maine is taking american patriotism to new heights, literally. they're building the largest american flag pole in the world, taller than the empire state building. you'll meet the men making it happen next. and we've got david perkins, dakota meyer with, my husband, sean duffy, maria bartiromo and many more on tap for tomorrow. ♪ hey you two, go outside and play. create a season full of playfulness.

pete: we're back with a fox news alert and live pictures from president biden meeting with ukrainian refugees in poland. that's after his meeting with president duda, the bilateral, and before the major address the white house says he will give later on. if anything develops as he talks to refugees, we will bring it to you. all right. the ultimate american dream about to become reality. plans have been announced, take a look at these pictures, have

been announced for flag pole of freedom park, a place to honor all american veterans in one place, and it will be home to the largest american flag in the world. standing taller than the empire state building. here with a repreview, co-founders of flag pole of freedom park, laurel, rob and mike webster. gentlemen, all, thank you for sharing this amazing project with us on "fox & friends." laurel, our folks will know you from wreaths across america. you've been committed to dedicating and honoring veterans for years, so you've delivered, and you want to deliver even more. why are you undertaking this project, sir? >> well, it's, you know, i think this is the time right now in the country that this is needed. we've been thinking about in the, you know, for 12 years. but -- and we just kept thinking and adding to it and so on. but the country is really so

divided, we think we could help, this project absolutely will help that, and that's really the big reason. pete: rob, what are we talking about here? on our banner right now it says the flag will fly 1776 feet, for obvious reasons, above e sea level. you'll be able to see it for miles and miles and miles around. but it also honors all 24 million vets who have died since the foundation of our country. explain plain what people will see here. >> there are three major pieces. first of all, the centerpiece is the flag pole, the iconic piece. it will be the world's tallest flag flying the world's largest flag. and surrounding that will be remembrance wall parks. we're going to have one for each state and territory. on those walls will be every single veteran who has passed away in our history regardless of if they died in combat or of natural causes. all of those will be on there.

also included is a educational piece. we have these giant halls of history planned where you can come and get an immersive learning opportunity for families to come here. you're going to come here, connect, reprotect on history -- reflect on history and teach the future generations about the values of our past, and we're very excited about shareing that. pete: it looks amazing. mike, how are you going to do this? i mow you plan to donate the land up in maine to host this park, but this is an ambitious project. how long is going to take, and how are you undertaking it? >> what we're going to do is we're going to bring on what we call -- we're going to open phase one in 2026 --

pete: patriotic americans who believe in the future of this, you're thinking of a mount rushmore-style attraction in with a flag that will, you hope, will become iconic and a gathering place for everybody. morrill, share with our viewers how they can get in on the ground to help launch this park. >> well, again, like michael said, we're going to ask people to become park founders and to be a park founder, you're actually -- your name is going to be on this for the rest of your life way beyond your lifetime, what we call founders place, a special building just for that. and, you know, it's -- and, by the way, we think it's pretty easy for us to do this. we really need about 1 out of 1,000 people in the united states alone to make this a

reality. so, and we think it's a great opportunity for people. if they really love the country, they're going to be a park founder. pete: well, you know, you started wreaths across america with no fanfare, but it's grown into a if anyone can make this happen it is that family and if you want to check the launch of this, checkout flagspollsoffreedom/launch. flagpoleoffreedom, it is phenomenal, it is what we need right now, on the 250th anniversary of this country. please keep us posted on it and god bless you for this effort. we appreciate it. a really cool idea. president biden is meeting with refugees in poland, the last

day of his trip to europe, he will give hope to a major address and keep it on the fox news channel. you will see updates throughout the day. rachel: tomorrow morning 6 am eastern time we are ready to go. will: president biting meeting with president xi tomorrow. rachel: goodbye, everybody. neil: live to warsaw, poland, the president is about to meet in a stadium with ukrainian refugees, no clear indication how many he will meet but this is coming at a time when poland has disproportionately taken in more than half, 4 million refugees who fled ukraine, better than 2.2 million, the polls say money would
